"Hello, Sorrow" is a masterpiece directed by Meng Jinghui - a one-man show
One person plays multiple characters, each of which is a rich and distinct character trait.
The original author is: Sagan, a famous French talented female writer. In 1954, at the age of eighteen, she wrote the novel "Hello, Sorrow", which won the "Critics' Award" in France that year. This literary novel about youth, love and loneliness.
Lines from the play:
"Misfortune makes many women fat, and food comforts them, which is the instinct of life."
"People cry and come to the world for no reason, and then there is only a weakening of the cry."
"I have forgotten the time of death, forgotten the brevity of life, and forgotten the beautiful feelings of the world. I thought about living a despicable and shameless life, which was my ideal. ”
"Love brings, in addition to the real pleasure of the body, there is also a certain spiritual pleasure, and it is happy to think of it." 」 The word xxx", despite its meaning, is literally seductive. The concrete, practical word "action" combined with the poetic abstract concept of "love" really fascinated me, and before that, when I said the word out of my mouth, I didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed, and I didn't know what it tasted. Now, I feel ashamed."
Through the lines, we initially understand that the actors in this play are extremely tense. Every sentence can be presented by the actor in many ways. There is no best performance in the theatrical stage, only better.
stage
Director Meng Jinghui's design of the stage is simple but it makes the audience understand the scene and is very cleverly partitioned. Combined with the lighting of the stage, the actors' roles in the performance are clearly changed.
Each character has a different performance area and tells a different perspective on the story.
PS: Many of the classic line clips in the drama can be used as monologue clips for female test takers. If you decide to use the fragment of this play as an exam, it is recommended that students read Sagan's original novel "Hello, Sorrow" in order to better understand the emotions expressed in the work and the proportions of the lines when the lines are performed.
